Emperor Zongwu: Choose the fetters of treacherous ministers at the beginning

early morning.

"The special envoy of the Ming Dynasty Zuo Prime Minister Li Shanchang of South Korea has arrived! Uncle Chengyi Liu Ji has arrived!"

"The special envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty, Prime Minister Zuo Li Si, has arrived! CRRC Commander Zhao Gao has arrived!"

Finally, the negotiators of the two dynasties of Ming and Qin came to the palace to have an audience.

And in Shaoshi Mountain, an extremely dazzling red cloud appeared in the sky as expected.

The mythical beast, the Phoenix, is here! .

Chapter 160 Seven Negotiations Begin, Daqin Sends Three Islands

The void is broken!

A fire phoenix appeared in the sky above Shaoshi Mountain.

The phoenix comes out of the east, and the phoenix sings all over the world!

The entire Shaoshi Mountain was shaking.

"Really, the Divine Beast Phoenix, the Divine Beast Phoenix has appeared!"

"The legend turned out to be true!"

At this moment, everyone in the Great Qin Dynasty looked at the sky with extremely excited expressions.

Especially Xu Fu couldn't hide the greedy light in his eyes.

The dream of longevity is within easy reach!

On the other side, everyone in the Ming Dynasty also saw the divine bird Phoenix in the sky.

See the flames dye the sky red.

"It's definitely a divine bird, it can break the void and appear out of thin air!"

Zhu ignored it seriously.

"gorgeous!"

Palace Master Lian Xing looked at the Fire Phoenix in the sky and let out a sigh of emotion.

The two lords of Yihua Palace are particularly fond of beautiful affairs.

This point is somewhat similar to the Happy School.

The maidservants of the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments of the Vulture Palace of the Xiaoyao School are all beauties.

As for the female disciples of Yihua Palace, they are all beautiful and charming.

Yaoyue, looking at the phoenix, seemed to think of something.

At this moment, the countless masters around Shaoshi Mountain could see clearly that it was indeed the legendary immortal beast Phoenix.

Only the sweeping monk who was retreating in the Sutra Pavilion saw some clues.

"Phoenix? This divine bird is somewhat familiar. It has the aura of a phoenix on its body, but it also has the aura of a divine bird other than a phoenix. Instead, it seems that some kind of divine bird has transformed into a phoenix using the magic of illusion. However, this illusion The technique is so exquisite that it can even transform the indestructible flame of the phoenix and the aura of the blood of the phoenix?"

The sweeping monk shook his head.

30

He is an eminent monk of Buddhism and Taoism, and he knows Buddhism very well. He feels that this divine bird seems to be a divine bird in the legends of Buddhism and Taoism.

Then, a thought flashed in his mind: "Babu Tianlong, Babu Tianlong..."

The so-called Heavenly Dragons and Babu are the eight kinds of monsters of the Buddhist sect.

Including: one day group, two dragon groups, three yakshas, ​​four gandharvas, five asuras, six garudas, seven kinnaras, and eight mahoragas.

"That divine bird, could it be, Garuda?"

The sweeping monk guessed a possibility.

"Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor used a Garuda to disguise himself as a phoenix?"

"Interesting, to be able to play with the two most powerful emperors of today's Nine Provinces, King Qin and King Ming, on his own."

Thinking of this, the sweeping monk closed his eyes again and continued to retreat.

Things outside have nothing to do with him.

Outside the Sutra Pavilion, Lu Zhishen was still holding a Buddhist scripture with peace of mind.

Beside him is Wei Yuan.

"My lord Wei, is it true that His Majesty won't compete with them for the phoenix?"

Lu Zhishen was not in the mood to read scriptures at the moment, but asked Wei Yuan for advice.

"Well, don't grab it."

Wei Yuan nodded.

"Then where should we help them?"

Lu Zhishen asked again.

"Wait, wait for His Majesty's news."

Wei Yuan answered again.

In the sky, the flames of the phoenix dyed the sky red.

Then, it suddenly fell towards a mountain stream outside Shaoshi Mountain.

The speed is extremely fast, like a red meteor streaking across the sky.

The sky was dyed red, and then the mountain stream was also quickly dyed red.

The monstrous flames also instantly engulfed the mountain stream.

Originally, there was a wonderful scenery.

There is a stream, and a waterfall.

However, when the phoenix fell, there was only endless flames left.

Streams and waterfalls were instantly evaporated.

The fire was raging, and if any living beings approached, they would all be roasted into coke.

Therefore, many martial arts masters in Shaoshi Mountain dare not approach this place.

Judging by the intensity of the fire, it might last for a day and a night.

Everyone could only wait here until the fire subsided before rushing in to find the legendary phoenix blood.

……

At the same time, the Great Song Palace.

Inside the Shenwu Pavilion.

A huge chessboard is placed in the center of the first floor, showing the scene of Mount Shaoshi.

Li Si of the Great Qin Dynasty and Li Shanchang of the Ming Dynasty were given seats.

The two sat on the main seats on the left and right sides respectively.

On the side seats are Zhao Gao and Liu Bowen.

Zhao Kai sat alone on the throne, beside the two envoys and guests, there were also seats for many ministers of the Song Dynasty.

They are all people who occupy high positions in the Song Dynasty today.

People from the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War are the main ones.

Zhao Kai glanced at Li Shanchang, then at Li Si.

The two surnamed Li are not simple.

It's just that Zhao Kai was a little curious, why Daqin sent Li Si instead of Zhang Yi, another top negotiator of the strategists.

Come to think of it, Li Si and Zhao Gao seem to be very close now, they have a close relationship, and they seem to be planning something.

That's why Li Si took the initiative to apply to come to Song Dynasty to participate in this negotiation.

"I'm a little tired from dealing with government affairs recently. The special envoys of Daqin and Daming speak up when they have something to say."

Zhao Kai was too lazy to go around in circles with these people.

To communicate with these people is to be straightforward and decisive.

The more you hang around with them, the easier it is to be around them.

Li Shanchang nodded and said: "My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, let me send my regards to His Majesty the Song Dynasty. I also hope that the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty will have good relations."

"Of course, congratulations to the auspicious omen of the heavenly fall in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the phoenix's nirvana. The Ming Dynasty hopes that the Great Song Dynasty can help fight for the phoenix blood left behind by the phoenix's nirvana and hand it over to Daming."

Li Shanchang said.

"What conditions?"

Zhao Kai asked directly.

Li Shanchang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that the Great Song Emperor was really straightforward.

In theory, he should talk about the preciousness of this phoenix blood, so that both parties can understand that such a precious thing must be extremely valuable.

But he didn't say a few words at all, and asked the conditions directly.

At this time, he also knew.

Needless to say, the preciousness of this phoenix blood is known to everyone.

"Golden ten thousand taels, one thousand cannons of the Shenji Battalion, three large Ming battleships..."

As Li Shanchang said these conditions.

Zhao Kai acted like he lost all interest.

"Warships can be built in the Song Dynasty, and artillery can be built in the Song Dynasty. I have no interest in things given by the Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, he turned his gaze to Li Si.

After thinking about it, Li Si got up and said, "The Great Qin Dynasty occupies three islands in the center of the Sea of ​​Kyushu. This is what His Majesty Daqin found when he was looking for the fairy island. Although it is not a fairy island, it is also a very fertile and vast island. .My Majesty Qin is all about expanding the territory of the mainland, and has little interest in ruling the overseas islands. Therefore, he is willing to send these three islands to the Song Dynasty in exchange for the assistance of the Song Dynasty and help him get the blood of the Phoenix."

At this time, Zhao Kai became more interested.

Territory and territory are what Zhao Kai is most interested in.

"Bring it up."

Li Si took out the map and walked forward slowly.

On the sea of ​​Kyushu, he marked the location and size of Sanzuo Island.

The sea chart of the Great Qin is very similar to the sea chart of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kai also compared the sea chart of the Song Dynasty and found the three islands.

They are Tsuliang Island, Yae Island and Wanniao Island.

These three islands are all very large, almost in the middle of the sea of ​​Kyushu.

Connecting countless dynasties.

To the north, you can go directly to Dongying.

To the west is the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Ming Dynasty.

To the east is the sea area of ​​Great Tang, Wu Zhou and Great Qin.

Moreover, these three islands guard each other, forming a corner.

It is not difficult to protect it.

It's just that Daqin really doesn't have much interest in sea islands.

Moreover, it is necessary to send sailors to guard it, which consumes national power and is often harassed by Japanese pirates.

There are not many people on these three islands, so they are of little significance to the Great Qin Dynasty.

In addition, the Great Qin Dynasty never thought of striving for hegemony at sea.

That's why Ying Zheng was willing to give away these three islands.
